I have been upgrading a development server running on Ubuntu 8.04 from 8.5.0 to 8.5.0. FP1 ( yes I know that it is not supported )
The standard install for the fix pack does not work and gives the following errors :
[sudo] password for
[: 160: TOOLS/NLS/-E: unexpected operator
[: 160: tools/nls/-e: unexpected operator
[: 160: tools/nls/-e;1: unexpected operator
.: 1: -e: not found
after much hunting about I came across this fix by Matt Schmandt
Domino 8.5 can be installed on Ubuntu 8.04 but you need to perform an extra step.
From the command line run “sudo su” and then run “./install”.
#Example
sudo su
./install
Once I tried this everything worked fine. Next time I might look at Roverex which was suggested by Johann Echanarr.
